its not a design flaw Ali. Water is very thin and cant be stopped without an o-ring. Our liquids are not thin like that, thats why Ithaka is working. If we had to put water inside Ithaka I would had put an o-ring between mouthpiece and basic feeding. Also because of the fat liquids we use, when you close mouthpiece you get a burned taste. If it was water, you wouldnt have that taste because water would still go through channels. Check your pipes on your house and you will not see a water pipe without o-rings or special rubbers on the edge of them

Ok, I think I may have found a design flaw here. I take the top caps off, and fill ithaka with water. (I have the liquid control closed). Water is dripping out of the central air hole. Where does this water come from? It is getting into the rebuildable part from the two cuts or holes of the basic feeding, and then fills up the base and then finds its way into the ceramic until the level of water goes higher than the central nut in the ceramic and finally drains out of the central hole. EVEN IF I CLOSE THE BASIC FEEDING, this is still happening, with slower speed of course. I think it would be a good idea for imeo to make that part (the one that has the two cuts in it for the basic feeding) WITHOUT THE CUTS, we could use that when we DONT WANT THE BASIC FEEDING AT ALL, and use the original one with the cuts when we want the basic feeding

I see fright. If syrigne is ok then we are ok. Refilling from the top cap without a syrigne was not in my plans. I always refill from the big cap when I use a bottle and a syrigne when I refill from the top cap

I did not realize this Imeo. Well then it seems to be working as designed. But my modification makes it work how I would prefer it to . Either way my Ithaka is by far my favorite atomizer to date.

Maybe you dont tight the rebuildable part enough Ali, or you use thin wick. Ithaka doesnt leak on reffing. The only I can think off is a faulty unit for a reason that I cant think now

No, That's impossible. The mouthpiece (liquid control) is tightly closed and nothing is getting through. I am 100% sure of what I said in my prevous post. The cuts (holes) of the basic feeding are causing the problem (specially with thinner juices) by letting liquid get into the base, fill the base completely with liquid, and then the liquid finds its way into the ceramic through the cuts at the buttom of the ceramic when you have them open by the central nut in the ceramic, and then the liquid fills the ceramic half-way until the level of the liquid reaches the top of the nut, and then the liquid drains out of the central air hole...

I tried closing the holes with some aquarium silicone and the liquid stayed in the tank and there was NO leaks...

Imeo please respond. Thanks

Thats why I made 2 caps buddy, so users can refill the way they like

I wish the Ithaka was available either in all metal or something where I can use a few juices known to be harmful towards plastic tanks.

Looked for your website as I have to have a Nimbus for some reason and was looking to order. I wish you had one. GL

The store just opened up last monday. Still trying to get the ball rolling smoothly. We could mail it to you if youd like.already shipped out 4 nimbuses in the past couple of days. Ill let you know if we have some in stock left when i get in.

A website is in the works though

Imeo told us he'll make metal windows available due to our requests. All good things to those who wait.

@Alireza355

Are you filling it up with water with the wicks in or out? If the wicks aren't in, then I would imagine that yes, it's going to pretty much dump most of the water out. No atomizer is going to 100% leak proof. Liquid needs to be contained but it also has to be able to move around, and air has to pass through too. E-liquid is much thicker than water, and the wicks block it from dumping out.

I do have to admit that both Ithaka and Penelope frequently flood when I fill them up. There are a few things that can help. Not refilling until it's completely empty so that the wicks are dry and can absorb more excess liquid when it all becomes pressurized. Turning it upside down just before turning the last few turns on the top. Also, I find that if you can get it on your device and start vaping quickly enough you can vape off some of the excess liquid before it starts flooding (not real easy though.) Honestly I usually just let it flood a bit if it's going to, and gently blow out the excess juice.

Point is, everything floods and or leaks sometimes, and/or it will suffer dry hits, or something sometimes. Regardless Ithaka is still the best.

one thing that i have done when refilling the oddys/ithaka and closing the very top piece is i open the mouth piece so pessure can escape.doing that way have yet to leak on me

I dont have 2 more upper bodies here but if someone has them he can take off the engraved tube and put 3 upper bodies, then the big cap with the small cap. I think this will work just fine for people that want to test juices in an all metal Ithaka

 

[grabeard]

That means something like wire or wick was between the two pieces. If the locking ring is not sealed completely then yes it will leak.

I have done the same on my oddy clone. Damn thing was leaking and got tired of spilling/wasting juice everywhere so I tried it with water, still leaked. I took out the tank, plugged the bottom with my palm and blew and watched where the air was escaping. The culprit was between the locking ring and bottom deck. For some reason it wouldn't completely seal on occassion

 

[eggylisk]

Beard ive tried it both with wick and no wick with mp screwed down all the way nice and tight and it manifested both times

 

[grabeard]

All metal Ithaka can use any juice, may ruin some orings.

All will leak with no wick. With wick if it's leaking there has to be something between the base and the control part, also place the bottom feeder away from the channels where the slot is.

Put an Oring on the steel ceramic holder between the base and the mouth piece on your clone, don't use the small ring just leave it off. This should shut down your leak if the small Oring on the bottom of the pos post is seated right.
I haven't had any leaking issues with Ithaka , I assume this tip would do the same for it.

 

[glauserjg]

I cant believe some people have leakung. none of my gg gear has ever leaked including ithaca. on a side note i built a 6 coil. 25 ohm build on 1 hit fills my room with vapor!!!

Posted this in the oddy thread but is really an ithaka question.

Hey guys and gals. I heard the oddy metal tank fits the ithaka which would make sense. I love my ithaka but can't Vape my fav juices in it. I can't find a metal oddy tank anywhere. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be a HUGE help. Thanks guys.

Just read back a page and this was answered already. Good stuff.
